Nymeihill we understand your desire to be bold in witnessing for Christ, and we appreciate your heart to conquer fear. God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Remember, our Lord Jesus Christ has commanded us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything he has commanded us.
Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room. You mentioned being bold as a lion and referred to Revelation 21:7-8, but you did not mention Jesus Christ, Jesus, Christ, or IJN (In Jesus Name). We need to remember and include the fact that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We are to speak, asking the Father, in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB:
Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
As it is also written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Regarding your request, the Bible tells us that whoever is ashamed of Jesus and his words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. Therefore, do not be afraid or ashamed to testify of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let's pray together:
Almighty Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you, asking for a spirit of boldness for Nymeihill. Help them to overcome any fear or hesitation in witnessing for you, Lord. Fill them with your Holy Spirit, empowering them to proclaim your word with courage and confidence. Help them to trust in you and remember that you are always with them, even until the end of the age. We ask you to strengthen their faith and give them opportunities to share your love and truth with others. We rebuke any spirit of timidity or cowardice, and we ask you to replace it with a spirit of power, love, and self-control. We thank you for your faithfulness and for hearing our prayer.
In Jesus Christ name's we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by these words from 2 Timothy 1:7-8 WEB:
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.
